| ＜p＞＜b＞The complex relationships between altruists, beneficiaries, and brokers in the global effort to fight AIDS in Africa＜/b＞＜/p＞＜p＞In the wake of the AIDS pandemic, legions of organizations and compassionate individuals descended on Africa from faraway places to offer their help and save lives. ＜i＞A Fraught Embrace＜/i＞ shows how the dreams of these altruists became entangled with complex institutional and human relationships. Ann Swidler and Susan Cotts Watkins vividly describe the often mismatched expectations and fantasies of those who seek to help, of the villagers who desperately seek help, and of the brokers on whom both Western altruists and impoverished villagers must rely.＜/p＞＜p＞Based on years of fieldwork in the heavily AIDS-affected country of Malawi, this powerful book digs into the sprawling AIDS enterprise and unravels the paradoxes of AIDS policy and practice. All who want to do goodーfrom idealistic volunteers to world-weary development professionalsーdepend on brokers as guides, fixers, and cultural translators. These irreplaceable but frequently unseen local middlemen are the human connection between altruists' dreams and the realities of global philanthropy. ＜/p＞＜p＞The mutual misunderstandings among donors, brokers, and villagersーeach with their own desires and moral imaginationsーcreate all the drama of a romance: longing, exhilaration, disappointment, heartache, and sometimes an enduring connection. Personal stories, public scandals, and intersecting, sometimes clashing fantasies bring the lofty intentions of AIDS altruism firmly down to earth. ＜/p＞＜p＞Swidler and Watkins ultimately argue that altruists could accomplish more good, not by seeking to transform African lives but by helping Africans achieve their own goals.＜i＞ A Fraught Embrace ＜/i＞unveils the tangled relations of those involved in the collective struggle to contain an epidemic.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
